The Zoo and a Little Christmas

Last Saturday, we drove to Oklahoma City to meet my parents at the zoo for the day.  It's kind of a meet in the middle, but not really because my parents have to drive farther than we do.  It was our first day of cooler weather, but still nice enough to enjoy ourselves and being outdoors.  We of course had a great time.

We were there about four hours and Brice went nonstop the whole time.  I took the Stand and Sit stroller so he could take a break and ride if he needed to.  He didn't.  His little legs went 90 to nothing the whole time.  He is so much fun.


I am really enjoying Brice at this age.  Of course, I've enjoyed every stage of my boy's lives, but he has become a lot of fun recently.  He loves Christmas lights and we have taken little trips during the day just to see Christmas decorations.  We have gone to Lowe's, Wal-Mart, the mall, and Hobby Lobby to look at the decorations.  He turns down the aisle and all you hear is him gasp, then he'll say something like "guys, guys look at this" or "oh wow".  You would think the holiday inflatable section at stores is Disneyland.  Oh how fun.

We know this phase of his is going to be short lived so we are thoroughly enjoying it.  There is a large church here in Tulsa which has a drive through light display.  We cannot wait to take Brice to it this year.  Brian is planning to decorate the outside of the house in a lot of lights this year.  He wants to make sure Brice gets all the twinkle lights his little heart desires.  I have a feeling we might be in for a Griswold Christmas.

Take him to Lowes...when the boy was that age he would stare for, no lie, a good hour in just one aisle. Now he just gets mad when we don't buy any of it...baby girl is pretty intrigued by it all now though.
